Gallery | Solar Eclipse May 20 2012 | A jaw-dropper from space

This stunning image was taken by the geostationary satellite MTSAT right around midnight UTC May 20/21. You can see the shadow of the Moon on the northwest Pacific ocean, with Japan and Asia to the left, and Australia thousands of kilometers farther south.
